Suicide Silence are trying something new. They have announced they will be a virtual tour later this year, and have confirmed New York and Los Angeles as the first two stops on the tour.
How will it work exactly? The band explains:
“Suicide Silence announces Virtual World Tour with unique sets, exclusive merchandise, and custom experiences in each market. Each show will feature a professionally filmed multi-camera live set along with an extensive post-performance Q&A. Every market will have its ticket purchase geo-gated within a reasonable radius so that only those in that general area can view its particular stream. Fans will be able to participate in a live chat with each other & the band throughout the experience.
“All ticket purchasers will have access to an Exclusive Merch Collection that includes an official tour shirt specifically for their market as well as a number of other items that will never be sold elsewhere.
“The streamed performances will go on sale several weeks or months in advance whereas fans will be able to communicate their set list preferences & make other special requests leading up to their show. Several dates are being finalized with Los Angeles & New York expected to kick things off some time in June.”
I guess it all depends on the price. I would say a $5 or $10 ticket seems reasonable for something like this. Does this seem like something you would want to attend? Seems like a fun concept.
